Edgewood Pierre sits at 1950 E 4th St in Pierre, South Dakota, and has 68 units with 72 beds, opening its doors in March 2015 for older adults looking for care and comfort without the big rush, plus you'll find folks calling it Edgewood Senior Living or Edgewood Pierre LLC, with an Executive Director named Melissa Johnson folks might recognize. The place gives off a homey feel in its living spaces, and you'll see views of the State Capitol, maybe some wildlife, and rolling bluffs along the Missouri River when you look out the windows or take a walk on the outdoor paths. There are all sorts of community amenities like a fitness room for exercise, a game room for fun, a library for a quiet read, and a wellness room along with gardens for those who like to be outside, and you'll notice plenty of places to gather for a movie night or join in with resident-run and community-sponsored events, which they keep up with all year long.
Edgewood Pierre is open around the clock, so help is available day and night through 24-hour supervision and a call system if residents need anything urgent, and medical support shows up through Edgewood's partnerships and other local providers. Assisted Living and Memory Care sit at the heart of daily life, with some rooms even having kitchenettes or private bedrooms for those wanting extra privacy, and care staff help with things like bathing, dressing, and keeping track of medicine. They arrange transport for errands or appointments, and some folks get help in their own homes through the home health and home care programs-so even if a person's memory isn't what it used to be, there's skilled support, with tailored Memory Care for memory impairments and end-of-life support through hospice when it's needed.
Edgewood Pierre also fits in with those looking for independence or something short-term, since the community's got short-term stay options, independent living programs at some locations, and adult day services for folks who aren't ready to move in full-time. The community has 55+ living choices and strives to connect residents to the right care through support and referral services meant to guide families through options. The setting covers most needs, whether someone needs a skilled nursing facility or just a little help with the daily routine, and while there's not mountains of extra information floating around about Edgewood Pierre itself, the focus is on providing care in a place designed to feel comfortable, safe, and steady for every resident.
